Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell is a man of many talents. Well, mainly one, he can sing. But he's a man of many kick ass bands. Soundgarden? Yep, that's him singing. Audioslave? He's the only non-Rage Against the Machine member on there. Temple of the Dog? He's part of the few that aren't Pearl Jam. How about a James Bond theme?

If Kurt Cobain is the god of all things grunge, Chris Cornell would be one of his disciples. One of the ones that wrote a gospel. He's been there, done that, worn the (plaid) shirt and continues spreading the word.

The part that's pained me over the years of worshipping all those bands, is that I've never seen them. None of those three. But Chris will be helping out in a half-assed way, with the announcement of his solo tour. He'll be playing some of his solo stuff, some of his Soundgarden stuff, some of his Audioslave stuff and some covers that he's been working on. But the part that gets me a little moist in the naughty bits is that he'll be covering Temple of the Dog songs. Maybe even this one?

I'll find out when I go see him October 15th at QPac.
